The grand finale

Ty rushed to Sharon with his heart in his throat. He couldn't bear it if anything happened to her. She was so very pale and it hurt his heart to see her suffering like this. He gripped her hand. He needed her by his side to raise his son. He wanted his son to know and love his mother. He wouldn't let anything happen to her.

"Sharon, you should see our son. He's perfect. I love you so much" He murmured stroking her hair back.

She smiled shyly "I'm sure he looks like you. I love you more Ty, so much more" she rasped in a weak voice. She squeezed her eyes shut and slowly opened them again. When she spoke, her voice sounded distant.

" I have a surprise for you." She took a deep breath and visibly relaxed. Confused, he went to help her deliver the placenta. He brought a shallow bowl between her legs and prepared to deliver the afterbirth. He was even more confused when he saw another head emerge. He gaped at her.

"Sharon, we're having twins?" He asked incredulously.

Despite her pain, she had to laugh. He sounded like a kid surprised about the gift he got for Christmas.

Trying to ease the labor pains, he asked " have you thought about baby names?"

"Sometimes, at night I'd imagine what they'd look like and try to.... Oh God" she shuddered as she felt her baby crowning. Did all babies have big heads?

" The shoulders are out, just one more huge push.. you can do this baby" he took a deep cleansing breath

Sharon heard a deep groan and didn't recognize it as her own. The pain didn't ease after having one baby. It still felt the same. Depending on destiny, she pushed harder and waited. She heard Ty gasp then a few seconds later, she heard another sharp wail. She felt calm and she wept quietly.

Ty repeated the procedure with his other baby. He laid the baby next to her brother. He stood still for a while staring at his two babies. He turned back and went to Sharon. He kissed her forehead and she reminded him that she had to deliver the afterbirth. Swamped, Sharon finally fell asleep.

Sunlight burned Sharon's eyes open. She groaned and forced her amber orbs to take in everything around her. She knew instantly she was at a hospital. She sat up and looked around for her babies. She wanted to see them. Out of nowhere, Ty walked up to her with two bundles of expensive looking cloth in his hands. She reached out her hands and he placed the pink bundle in them. She looked at her daughter for the first time and she gasped.

"Vittoria. I want to name her Vittoria" she looked up at him. He smiled and nodded. Sharon kissed her daughter's head and reached out for her son. The baby looked at her and smiled instantly, showing off his lovely dimples.

"Then I guess he'll be Vittorio?" He laughed. " You're not Italian Sharon"

She smiled " My dad was. His name was Vittorio"

Vittorio looked like his mother in every way. But he had his father's eyes. Vittoria had her mom's eyes but he had her dad's lips and his nose. But the twins pretty much looked the same .

On the day that Ty could take all of them home, he could barely contain his Joy.

There's really no need to explain how happily ever after they all lived.
